gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filterRFC3454.pl

gensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]

gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form. The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

Print help about usage and exit.
Display extra informative messages during execution.
Include a copyright notice into the binary data.
Set the source directory to source. The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.
Set the destination directory to destination. The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to ${prefix}/share/icu/74.2/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.

The following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for NormalizationCorrections.txt.
